Accessory makers were quick to react to the iPhone 5 announcement, most of which already unveiled products that sing along Apple’s latest handset. Heck, we even have the first designer luxury cases, made by CalypsoCrystal…

Two luxury companies, Lara Bohinc and CalypsoCrystal, have joined forces to bring the new handmade iPhone 5/4S/4 cases to the market. Designer Lara is known for her modern yet timeless designs, with her products ranging from jewelry, sunglasses and scarves to handbags and leather accessories. And now she’s bringing her signature style to iPhone cases.

The three cases unveiled are: “Rainbow” – made of glossy leather with silver finishing; “Sunrise” – crafted of premium black leather with a silver ring; and “Rainbow Dream” – a deep red cabrio version. Every piece is handcrafted and unique with the best materials used, including Italian leather, titanium and real silver. All this comes with a price tag – each CalypsoCase by Lara Bohinc case costs 149 EUR or $169. Pretty steep but at the same time kinda expected.
